If you can't buy organic...

Wow, I'm amazed at how the price of food is shooting up--yikes! And it's not as if organic food starts out cheap, either. Ideally, an all-organic diet is best. But if you can't, our buddies at Environmental Working Group did tests of pesticides in foods and decided these are the lowest:

Broccoli

Eggplant

Cabbage

Banana

Kiwi

Asparagus

Sweet peas (frozen)

Mango

Pineapple

Sweet corn (frozen)

Avocado

Onion

P.S. some alternative med types think PEAS are NOT GOOD for fertility, FYI. I don't eat them anyway because they make my lips numb--a strange reaction but I know other people get that, too.

Awesome, this is a great list. And they tend to be the produce I buy at my local veggie mart (that is not organic). And yeah, the prices! Husbando just came back from whole foods the other day with organic pasture-raised kosher chicken. Yeah, that's a mouth full! 16 dollars for a pound and a half!

Thanks for the list! I especially like eggplant. There is also a great nutritional supplement from Uri International that takes organic fruits and vegetables and turns them into a powder without going over 100 degrees F so the nutrients aren't lost.
